    Welcome friends. 
    
    In this tutorial we shall look at data types available in Python and 
    how to perform simple Input and Output operations. 
    for dealing with 'Numbers' we have: int, float, complex
    'Strings' are there for handling Text content.
    For conditional statements 'Booleans' are supported.
    
    Lets start by covering one by one, firstly 'numbers'
    All 'whole numbers' irrespective of how big they are, are of 'int'
    data type
    Lets get started by opening IPython interpreter. Now we will create
    some variables say:
    a = 13
    print a

    To check the data type of any variable Python provides 'type' function
    type(a)
    
    b = 999999999999
    print b
    
    And 

    Thus we come to the end of this tutorial on introduction of Data types in
    Python. In this tutorial we have learnt what are supported data types, 
    supported operations and performing simple IO operations in Python.
